Why choose Faith Mahogany

Using Mahogany for both the top and body of a guitar makes for a very “friendly” instrument that responds well to hard picking, strumming and finger-style techniques alike. Further to this, the sound produced is unburdened by overly audible overtones and harmonics, so they perform brilliantly when recording.

Faith All-Mahogany models deliver a clear, linear tone which is very sweet and woody with plenty of midrange.

The solid tonewoods are finished with a darkened amber stain, and coated in a thin layer of our regular PU lacquer: thick enough to protect the timber and control the tone, but still thin enough to allow the wood to resonate as it should. The binding is Macassan Ebony, as is the fingerboard, bridge, headplate and heelcap

The electro-acoustic models within therange are fitted with Shadow Electronics' 'Performer Tuner' preamp and a Shadow Nanoflex undersaddle pickup.
